In gdb you could inspect the aiocb structure to look at its aio_iov[], aio_niov, and aio_nbytes fields. They might be invalid or corrupted somehow. You could also dump out the memory before 0x7fa24c000a00, specifically 0x7fa24c0009f0, to see if you notice any pattern or printable characters that give a clue as to what has corrupted the memory here. Are you running qemu-kvm.git/master?
